Taeja 4th is the biggest joke tho. Agreed, why is TaeJa not first and why is Polt top 10. Please fix. -.- (INnoVation is in the RO16 of GSL btw, and TaeJa has been beating top koreans for months now) | ||

The people Polt has beaten to get second place in Atlanta were all non-koreans. For the run in Detroit he beat San and violett (besides Taeja), not really the strongest opponents. Taeja on the other hand has beaten Zest and violet in Toronto and Life, MMA, Zest, Jaedong and Solar in Shenzen. I think the difference in quality of opponents should be obvious. Therefore I would not put Polt ahead of Taeja. If you look at the quality of the opponents that Solar has beaten in the last two months, I'd say Taeja has beaten the same quality of players as Solar has. Also, Solar placed Second in one premier tournament (Shenzen) since the beginning of july while Taeja won Shenzen, was the runner-up in Detroit and got into the semif-finals in Toronto. Finally, Their winrates against koreans is very similar around 65%, with 37-22 (90-56 in Maps) for Solar vs 12-6 (31-23 in maps) for Taeja. Therefore I'd take the direct confrontation more into account. Edit: Looking through the results, I would agree though that zest could well be ahead of Taeja in the ranking. Fair point, I won't argue that TaeJa has a place on this list (8~15), Polt on the other hand absolutely no. As for the Shine thing I was using him as an example that even tho he dominated Soulkey for a period of time, + Show Spoiler + he was not better than him. Edit: Sorry, I suck at html  | ||

Polt higher than classic because he won an event where he only had to play two strong opponents? Don't forget the GSL Season 2 finals was in June. Since then, he is disappointing. Eliminated in Code S, lost the final match against TY in Proleague, no surprise he is not in the ranking. | ||

According to TLPD he's barely played any games since the GSL finals(which was at the very end of June, not too long ago). Seems like a huge oversight to not include him since he doesn't get to go to EZ foreign tournaments like red bull battlegrounds. | ||

Also isn't this power ranking for august? It seems a bit strange you put Maru above Flash then, when you even state yourself that Maru has not been performing that well this month. | ||

Flash really should be number one this month Obviously you never can make THE perfect list, but parting and polt seem to be very weirdly placed too  The Power Rank takes into account more than solely the month it pertains to, which is stated clearly in the OP. | ||
